'... a groundbreaking book about Julian the theologian... a bold and utterly compelling case that her works warrant a place in the higher echelons of rigorous, systematic theology... Perhaps the greatest achievement of this book is that it will encourage us all to read or re-read Julian's masterpiece.' (Jonathan Wright, Catholic Herald) 'Turner's perceptive engagement with Julian's theology is deployed with great art to difficult areas of debate... What he demonstrates time and again is a scrupulousness that is able to distinguish between paradox and incoherence, but he also has the rarer skill among theologians to communicate subtle technicalities with exceptional clarity.' (Brutus Green, Theology)

The best theological exposition of Julian to appear so far....It shows why her thinking is still of value and how one might critically engage with it. -Brian Davies, Commonweal -- Brian Davies * Commonweal * The author writes with erudition, theological precision and flashes of humor. This is an enlightening book that makes an important and impressive addition to Julian scholarship. -Joan M. Nuth, America -- Joan M. Nuth * America * This is the best book I have seen on Julian, and one of the most energizing ventures in theology in the last several years. -John Wilson, Books and Culture -- John Wilson * Books and Culture *
